Parameters

route-policy route-policy-name: Specifies a routing policy by its name, a case sensitive string of 1 to 63 characters. If you specify this option, the command adds an additional metric for the routes that match the routing policy.

value: Adds an additional metric to inbound routes, in the range of 0 to 16.

Usage guidelines

When a valid RIP route is received, the system adds a metric to it and then installs it into the routing table. The metric of the route received on the configured interface is then increased. If the sum of the additional metric and the original metric is greater than 16, the metric of the route will be 16.

If a routing policy is referenced with the route-policy keyword, the following operations can be performed:

• Routes matching the policy are added with the metric specified in the apply cost command configured in the policy. Routes not matching it are added with the metric specified in the rip metricin command. The rip metricin command does not support specifying the + or – keyword in the apply cost command to add or reduce a metric.

• If the apply cost command is not configured in the policy, all the inbound routes are added with the metric specified in the rip metricin command.

Examples

# Configure VLAN-interface 10 to add a metric of 6 to the inbound route 1.0.0.0/8 and to add a metric of 2 to other inbound routes.

<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] ip prefix-list 123 permit 1.0.0.0 8
[Sysname] route-policy abc permit node 10
[Sysname-route-policy-abc-10] if-match ip address prefix-list 123
[Sysname-route-policy-abc-10] apply cost 6
[Sysname-route-policy-abc-10] quit
[Sysname] interface vlan-interface 10
[Sysname-Vlan-interface10] rip metricin route-policy abc 2
